Warning

Will reveal some spoilers for Bakugo’s story so beware of that.





Background

        Squidward

"I'm done with my shift Mr Krabs and let me just say there will come a day when I make something of my life and I will never have to set foot in this grease ever again!"


Born to Jeff Tentacles and Mrs. Tentacles, Squidward had a relatively normal and happy childhood, as his parents loved him dearly and raised him with affection, if not for the fact that he was a magnet for ridicule at school. He had no friends and used to sit near the trash at lunch to avoid teasing, which caused him to grow up as an outcast and bitter individual who developed hatred for other people Some time later, Squidward was enrolled by his parents in Kamp Koral, a children's summer camp, where Squidward finally got to showcase his talent for what he loved most: the clarinet. In the camp's talent contest, Squidward bathed the audience with his heavenly music; however, it wasn't enough to win the contest, and the prize was taken by an annoying yellow sponge and a pink starfish, SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star Squidward left the place crying, throwing away his clarinet and hiding in his cabin, but SpongeBob and Patrick entered, telling him that the votes were miscounted, and the real winner was Squidward, motivating him to never stop playing the music he loves Years later, having graduated from school and without entering university, Squidward began working at a fast-food restaurant: the Krusty Krab, alongside the best chef of the seven seas, Jim. Due to mistreatment by his boss, Jim left the restaurant, causing Squidward to lose his hair, and with a vacant position, SpongeBob started working as the new chef, becoming a daily headache for Squidward both at home and at work

         Bakugo

Hurry up, go you damn nerd! I’ll keep fighting! I’ll break myself, even if there’s nothing left of me…I will win the way I want to..I’ll destroy myself before I accept defeat at your hands. You got that?


In a world where superpowered individuals made up 80% of the world’s population, there existed many villains that have attempted to bring society down to their knees. For as many villains as there were running around however, there’d be just as many heroes ready to put their life on the line for the safety of the 20% who lacked a quirk, an inherent supernatural ability, or anyone else forced to be in the crossfire of danger. Of the most well-known heroes, All Might would be considered society’s best chance against evil, and a young Bakugo Katsuki would find himself looking up to the symbol of peace.


Bakugo would spend the majority of his life being praised for his natural-born talents as a student and a quirk user, always ready to surpass others for the purposes of his newfound goal: to surpass All Might and become the future number 1 hero. He would soon get into the number 1 school for all things heroics, UA High School, but he would be dumbfounded by the fact that his soon-to-be-rival Izuku Midoriya had also made it in despite him lacking a quirk. Bakugo had been bullying Izuku his entire life as of now for having no quirk to latch onto, and despite all odds, Izuku had managed to get a quirk somehow. Not only that, but the name that Bakugo had been using to tease Izuku would become his hero name, Deku. Now that they were both attending UA High, a rivalry would form between the two as they both strived to one day become the number 1 hero.

Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight

 After saving All Might's life, Bakugo was given this weapon as a brace for his broken arm, this arm, while able to shoot up explosions in full power, cannot replicate the actual purpose of creating explosions thanks to AFO. was given to Bakugo to replicate his quirk and was a leftover to ALl Mights suit made of armor, said suit was also composed of mechanical replicas of Class 1A quirks.


     Powers/Abilities

Squidward

Subjective Reality


Squidward is able to create things with his imagination, something he has done several times. He was able to create the Greek Legends by imagining them and can alter reality with his Imagination.

Other characters have been able to do this too, such as SpongeBob and Plankton.


Immersion


On several occasions, we have seen SpongeBob characters step out of the cartoon into the real world, and Squidward is no exception to this.

Resistances



Bakugo

Quirk: Explosion


As mentioned before, quirks are supernatural abilities that are found in 80% of the population, being defined as humanity’s next step in the evolution cycle. While some powers are more common than others, a majority of quirks are uniquely suited to its user, and each quirk can be specifically useful in certain scenarios. Some are more fit for support, some are more fit for evasion, but in Bakugo’s case, his quirk was built for total destruction, a quirk by the very on-the-nose name of Explosion.


Bakugo’s quirk allows him to release nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms which he can then ignite on command to create powerful explosions. The equipment that was mentioned before can further increase the power of these explosions but it’s not required that he wears them as sweating more is what creates the biggest explosions seen in the story.


Having his quirk formed at a young age, Bakugo’s become skilled enough to use his quirk in creative ways such as using the shockwaves from his explosions as shields or using those same explosions to quickly fly through the air (more on that in a sec). He’s even to drop his sweat onto others to create delayed remote explosions if something creates enough force to ignite them. There’s nothing stopping him from continuously creating explosions to break through the toughest of defenses. Although, the more that he uses his quirk, the more that his forearms start to hurt.

Fighting Skill

Even without his quirk, Bakugo is a monster at hand to hand combat. He has the fighting prowess to match the likes of Deku on multiple occasions, overpower powerful villains such as Kurogiri, and physically go toe to toe with ultimate power houses such as Shigaraki and All For One. His main fighting style is that of a complete offense with no defense, using his quirk to stay close to his opponents and blast them away.

Explosive Speed

By aiming his hands behind his back and utilizing his quirk, Bakugo can propel himself through the air using the force from his explosions. He’s accustomed himself to this high-speed navigation method so well that he can fly around his opponents and attack them fast enough to outspeed them. He can even evade attacks while in the air using this speed.

Stun Grenade

By creating a sphere of light in between his hands, Bakugo can explode it into a large flash that will blind anyone that happens to be close by, stunning them long enough to leave them wide open for an attack. This technique has proven to be especially practical against powers who are weak to light such as Tokoyami’s Dark Shadow. A version of this move, referred to as “Point-Blank Stun Grenade”, is the same exact technique but performed right in front of an opponent.

AP Shot

This move focuses on honing his explosions into a single point rather than having those explosions be fired from his entire palm, letting him create focused blasts that can pierce through solid surfaces with greater ease. He performs this move by creating a circle with one hand and placing it on top of his other palm, using the circle to create these pinpointed shots.

AP Shot Auto Cannon

A rapid-fire version of AP Shot that has its explosion power reduced in order to avoid hurting innocent citizens who are potentially in the crossfire.

AP Machine Gun

A much stronger version of AP Shot Auto Cannon where Bakugo can go all out with much larger explosions at an even faster fire-rate.

Howitzer Impact

The ever-famous Howitzer Impact involves Bakugo pretty much turning himself into a human missile, by using explosions to propel himself in a circular motion to create a tornado while mid-air. The resulting tornado collects oxygen and even more momentum, which is used to fuel the ensuing explosion by transferring all of that into one hand. He's used this move to shatter Todoroki's Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall, and to make it even better, it's even his finishing move in Jump Force!

Explode-A-Pult

Bakugo uses his explosions to propel himself in mid-air while grabbing an opponent. Then, he uses an explosion with his free arm to propel himself in a spinning motion, fast enough that he uses said momentum to launch his opponent at high speeds. Good for creating distance, though you have to get close enough to your opponent to use it.

Land Mine Blast

Aiming his Grenadier Bracers into the ground lets him create an explosion that will blow back anyone and anything around him. This move proves especially useful when he needs to clear away gasses that are blocking his view/endangering him and his team such as Deku’s smokescreen.

Cluster

When he was out of his depth against Shigaraki, Bakugo was able to understand the true aspect of how to best use his Quirk. After all, there's only one thing better than an explosion. Multiple explosions! By condensing his explosions, Bakugo can unleash a burst of explosions that can be employed in several ways, at a much stronger and faster pace as you'll see below.

Explosive Speed: Cluster

This is pretty much the same thing as Explosive Speed, but due to the Cluster Technique being used, it’s much faster, to the point that he can keep pace with Shigaraki.

Howitzer Impact: Cluster Bomb

Ah yes. His absolute strongest attack. By combining the use of the Strafe Panzer (The nifty Explosion machine guns on his costume) and the Cluster technique, Bakugo is able to turn this special move into a far more deadly one. As not only is it more powerful due to the use of the Cluster technique, it also allows him to spray explosions Omni-directonally. A fitting spectacle for Bakugo.

Other Abilities

Thief Suit

This costume is used by squidward for stealth.

        Bakugo

          Hero Costume

Sour Note

Handsome Squidward

God look at this beauty

After SpongeBob slammed the door at Squidward multiple times it made Squidward extremely handsome. This face of his is so handsome that direct contact with it would make the victim extremely crazy for him even to the point of putting themselves in danger . Even helped an old man who was blind to see. He can even fly himself.

        Scaling

            Squidward 

               SpongeBob characters

                

Squidward has fought multiple SpongeBob characters including SpongeBob himself and has fought against a lot of foes comparable to him so Squiddy boi should scale to everyone in SpongeBob.


Spongebob


Patrick

Sandy

Travelled from the moon to Saturn in 2 seconds. (1896 to 2388 c)


Plankton





        Bakugo

    Class 1A

Bakugo is considered one of the top three strongest students of 1A alongside Deku and Todoroki so he’s able to upscale feats from everyone below him.


Deku

Thanks to Bakugo fighting AFO and Shigaraki, he should be comparable to Deku in almost evry way in his highest forms but not fully.

5%


20%


30%


45%


100%




All Might


Weakened



In full power his feats multiply



Villains and other characters 

Bakugo should scale to most villains and characters heere such as


Shigaraki

All For One







Weaknesses

Squidward

Despite his numerous impressive feats, scaling and abilities Squidward is still a coward. He has huge anger issues and has very bad luck. He’s even bad at playing with his clarinet.

Bakugo

Even with such powerful explosive power Bakugo’s superiority complex, anger issues and  very reckless behavior when it comes to battling can cause him some trouble, and while his explosions are very powerful can cause a strain in his arms which gets worse when he uses Cluster. His quirks are useless in cold, and dry areas since he needs sweat in order to use them.

Before the Verdict

Does Bakugo scale to Deku?

Yes while not a FULLY peak  powered Deku but he can still scale to those comparable to 100% Deku like Shigaraki and AFO.

Does Squidward scale to SpongeBob?

Yes Squidward has fought characters comparable to SpongeBob like Mr Krabs and Patrick and has even broken SpongeBob into many different pieces at one point. He absolutely scales.

Final say before the Verdict

Defense

Spidey


Hi guys Spidey here I just wanna say that I made this blog outta love for this MU and I wanna say that it is very overhated so I’mma go into why!


It insults both Squidward and Bakugo

Nah not really both Squidward goes into how Bakugo used to be a dickhead to everyone 4especially his anger. They are both anti heroic grumps who have a grudge between two kind souls (Spongebob and Deku)  but deep down they don’t truly hate them and will help em afford any help if trouble is in vain proving that they aren’t necessarily purely mean and hateful. They also have their own superheroic costumes so see, connections aren't insulting either of them NEXT!


BUT SPIDEY TONAL ISSUE 

Tonal issue seriously? We just had a DB where a Nintendo character fought an MK character twice. (Machamp and Captain Falcon cough) Besides Squidward has fought before and has karate. MHA also has wacky characters and whatnot  it’s not like Bakugo is a super duper serious dude. What would you expect him to be Batman?! You can have funny banter between the too and an emotional moment between them as Bakugo and Squidward are ready to punch each other in the face until they both look into each other’s hatred in their eyes and  said “Wow we have a lot of things in common” Spongebob can also have serious moments too and it’s not like Squidward is immediately a quirky haha funny type of character like SpongeBob.



BUT IT'S A FUNNY CARTOON CHARACTER BEATING AN ANIME CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!

You may be right but come on Popeye vs Saitama was a funny cartoon character beating anime strong dude too and that episode was peak! So this has no reason to get this much shit at all! Just make Squidward look like a badass and give him his super form boom problem solve



Overall Squidward vs Bakugo is an amazing and VERY overhated MU that doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. Squidward also has insane abilities so he can bounce off of Bakugo’s explosive quirks pretty easily.  It’s a fun MU that means a lot to me so it sucks it’s  getting all the unneeded hate.



Verdict

Stats

When it comes to stats this is no contest, Squidward's feats blows Bakugo’s out of water. Even with Bakugo’s highest scaling to Deku’s cloud feat which gets to 80 teratons Spongebob on average can rotate the entire planet without even breaking a sweat and this ain’t even the highest Squidward can scale to. Several feats such as Patrick and co surviving the entire universe exploding gets FAR above anything Bakugo has ever accomplished. And that’s not even getting into speed which when scaled to characters such as Sandy who can travel to the saturn to moon in seconds and Patrick who can run into the sun in mere moments Whichthe former gets about 8000c while the latter gets about 99c which puts leagues above Aoyoami’s light timing speeds. Even Jirou's Radio vs laser feat which is a very huge MHA speed feat pales in comparison to those and these are the very casual showings of SpongeBob. All in all Squidward takes stats by a lot

Powers/Abilities and Equipments

Another edge for Squidward. Bakugo’s explosive weapons are powerful but Squidward has survived explosions casually and his equipment is even more deadly with his clarinet being capable of discomorting people ripping skins out and causing heart attacks which Bakugo has no counters to. Squidward’s regeneration of his body popping out of existence would score a huge problem for Bakugo too which makes his explosives entirely useless. He can also force feed Bakugo many Krabby Patties until he pops. Squidward takes this easily.

Tertiary factors

Bakugo may be a better consistent fighter since his sole purpose was to train and be the strongest of the MHA verse but Squidward has been trained by Sandy who is very good at karate and has been through many adventures with SpongeBob and Co through fighting wise ghosts such as the Flying Dutchman evil geniuses like Plankton. Squidward’s also technically older.
